Why specifically Orthomol® Sport?

As top-performance athletes have known for a long time, it is often difficult to satisfy an increased need for micronutrients with a normal diet – and this also applies to many people who exercise regularly as a hobby. People who pursue sports activities are frequently unable to cope with the detailed recommendations for an ideal sports diet. For example, those who are active athletes and also work seldom have the time to satisfy this increased need. They also frequently lack the basic knowledge that is necessary in order to correctly implement these recommendations in practice.

This risk of a micronutrient deficiency is especially great with sports in which athletes must pay particular attention to their body weight because the micronutrient supply can be insufficient in these cases as a result of a calorie-reduced diet.

Orthomol® Sport is a food supplement for athletes with a need-based and balanced combination of all important micronutrients that are essential for optimized performance, regeneration and resistance.

Directions to use

How should Orthomol® Sport be taken?

How long should Orthomol® Sport be taken?

To satisfy the specifically increased need for micronutrients the regular and long term use of Orthomol® Sport is recommended.

As a top-performance athlete or hobby sportsman you will know: Every ambitious athlete wishes to achieve a certain level of performance. But training only is not enough. Your diet should also be adapted to your activities. Only when your body is supplied with micronutrients, such as vitamins, minerals and trace elements, in the best possible way, it can tap its full potential and will be able to recover quickly after physical stress. Studies have shown that many high-performance athletes and hobby sportsmen have an increased need of micronutrients, but are often unable to cover these needs with their daily diet. With Orthomol® Sport you can help support your physical performance, enhance your resistance and accelerate your (body’s cellular) regeneration.

Vitamin C contributes to maintain the normal function of the immune system during and after intense physical exercise.

Bound to the red blood color hemoglobin, oxygen is transported by the erythrocytes (red blood cells). Iron, vitamin B12 and vitamin B6 contribute to normal formation of red blood cells. Iron also contributes to normal formation of red blood cells and to normal oxygen transport in the body. Folic acid contributes to normal blood building. The antioxidants vitamin C and E as well as the trace elements zinc, selenium and copper contribute to the protection of cell constituents from oxidative damage.

Calcium and vitamin D are needed for the maintenance of normal bone.

With L-carnitine, coenzyme Q10 and omega-3 fatty acids.

The high quality of the micronutrients contained in Orthomol® Sport is maintained by the processing of high-quality raw materials. Exclusively 100% L-carnitine is used, for example.

The secured and certified manufacturing process ensures that any risk of contamination with doping substances is excluded. Orthomol Sport is free of prohormones and nandrolone (sample analysis detection limit 0.01 μg/g (GC/MS).

Deficiencies in the micronutrient supply of athletes:

Fluid losses – magnesium, calcium, iron, zinc and copper.

Increased energy usage – leads to an increased need for vitamins and minerals.

In adequate diet – lack of micronutrients in the diet.

People who are physically very active should ensure adequate time for regeneration. Even though nothing is externally noticeable, this phase is very important for maintenance and optimization of the athlete’s performance.

Athletes demand a lot from their bodies and so they must also give a lot back in order to preserve their physical fitness and resistance and to achieve quicker regeneration. In order to maintain and build on good training success, it requires a balanced micronutrient combination that is based on the increased need for vitamins, minerals and trace elements in addition to a suitable diet.
